The 9.7" 150dpi Kindle DX is a big win over 6" 167dpi readers for figures and graphs and even has an edge over 200dpi 6" readers. This new Sony should have have the same magnitude advantage over the current 9" to 10" readers. Higher dpi would be better still, but I would prefer not to have to wait for it.

Why do you say that? I think the contrast is slightly better with slightly bigger pixels.
For an extreme example, consider the deep black segmented calculator LCDs from the seventies versus the dim gray dot matrixed calculator LCDs from the eighties.

As others have written, that can come later. Anyone willing to cough up what this is going to cost is desperate for something decent for the set of PDFs they want to read and already has one or more current readers that do fine with reflowable formats and are easier to hold, use, and carry around.
